Many of us turn to nutritionists or dietitians when we want to plan a menu that will help us lose weight, but it turns out that you’ll want to get their professional advice even in cases where you feel dizzy, you have a cold, or experience unexplained abdominal pain. All these are cases in which we are usually in a hurry to reach for the medicine cabinet, but you may want to go to the refrigerator first. The following sections include foods that nutritionists and dietitians choose to eat when they encounter various types of pain, and you may want to adopt them as part of your first aid kit.

1. Colds or flu

“When I’m down and out with a winter bug, I reach for hot soup with ginger, garlic, chicken, and carrots,” says a dietitian specializing in gastrointestinal disorders. “Hot liquids help clear clogged up nasal passages, and ginger and garlic may aid in the immune system and ease an upset stomach. Fluids are important for the immune system to do its work, as are protein in the chicken and vitamin A in the carrots.” It helps the body to fight a cold, and its combination with vegetable soup prevents inflammation, and since it’s one of the easiest things to make, you won’t have to spend much time in the kitchen to help yourself feel better.

2. A headache

“When I have a headache, it’s usually because I’ve done a poor job hydrating or I skipped my morning coffee,” says a sports dietitian, and nutrition sciences expert. “That means that I will be reaching for water first and, if that doesn’t work, adding in some caffeine from antioxidant- and potassium-rich java.” If the recommendation seems strange to you, note that most of the drugs that fight headaches contain caffeine. Caffeine constricts blood vessels in the brain, making it a quick solution for reducing severe headaches. However, if the source of your headaches is stress, a dietitian recommends eating a handful of almonds. “They act as a pain reliever because they contain salicin, which is also an agent in popular over-the-counter painkillers.” Because of this, they act as natural remedies for everything and always help with aches and pains.

3. Nausea

To calm her stomach, a dietitian chooses to add a little ginger powder to her green tea. “You can add it to any foods, either freshly grated or as a powder, to help relieve stomach aches and nausea,” she says. This recommendation is in line with research conducted, where Ginger was found to help fend off nausea and vomiting problems of all kinds, whether its stomach upset, seasickness or even chemotherapy. “If things haven’t gotten graphic and I just feel queasy, I’ll also eat some dry starchy foods to help calm my stomach,” says the nutritionist claiming that eating some animal crackers, pretzels, or cheerios, will make you feel better.

4. Asthma attacks

Although you may not be able to part with your inhaler completely, there are still nutritional recommendations that you may be happy to apply and adopt. Fear recommends slowing the inflammatory processes that may cause the onset of an attack by eating blueberries or raspberries for dessert. The polyphenols contained in these berries are useful for reducing the immune system’s sensitivity and therefore useful in reducing attacks.

5. Menstrual pain

"Because I often want to eat everything I see," says the dietitian, "I try to stock up on fresh fruit." The physiological and hormonal processes accompanying menstruation cause many women to develop a desire for sweets, but processed sugars in chocolates and other snacks may actually worsen various menstrual symptoms. The natural sugar in the fruit, on the other hand, has a lower glycemic value, so it can enjoy the taste without suffering the side effects. At the same time, fruit is rich in potassium which helps regulate the fluid balance in the body, thus reducing bloating that also affects quite a few women.

6. Bloating

While most of us often feel heavy and bloated at the end of a meal, some suffer from such bloating almost regularly. This can harm eating habits and interrupt everyday life, but there are quite a few natural solutions that fight this unpleasant phenomenon. Dietitian who specializes in assembling special menus for people suffering from the problem, notes that when she herself encounters bloating, she chooses to spice her food with 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric. This spice contains a large number of bioflavonoids, along with other components that regulate the immune system and prevent inflammatory processes that promote bloating. As a snack, she eats edamame, whose green pods attack inflammation in several directions by combining fatty acids, isoflavones, and omega-3s.

7. Sports injuries

An injury at the gym or at the end of a jog is very unpleasant and frustrating, but you can minimize its damage and return to exercising quickly by increasing the amount of protein in your diet. A study published in 2015 found that high levels of protein help the body recover more easily from injuries and at the same time prevent athletes from losing muscle mass. On days she feels she’s overworked herself, Fear will have a lean steak or use lean ground beef to make a meat sauce for pasta. She also recommends adding whey protein to shakes and getting plenty of rest.

8. Anxiety and stress

Anxiety attacks can disrupt your life and make it difficult to perform routine tasks, but you’ll be happy to find that there are quite a few tasty solutions that can help you. All nutritionists agree that the key is the addition of B vitamins, such as vitamin B6 and B12. These vitamins are essential in reducing levels of anxiety, relaxing the muscles and nerves and fighting depression, and you can find them in quite a few green vegetables like cabbage, spinach, and asparagus. To get an especially rich dose, you can benefit from vitamin B by consuming beef, which helps increase energy levels, or fish that which is a great source of serotonin.

9. Hot flashes

Hot flashes are a phenomenon that can attack both men and women, regardless of their overall health, and those who suffer from it may find themselves struggling with a variety of unpleasant symptoms regardless of the weather outside. Here, too, all nutritionists agree that there are quite a few solutions to the difficult problem. Some choose to add between 1 and 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to their meals, as flaxseed is known to significantly reduce menopausal hot flashes in a short period of time. Other nutritionists choose to add foods that include vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes, which treat allergies and infections while also helping to relieve the unpleasant hot flashes.

10. Allergies

“I’m unlucky to have lots of allergies, so if I’m having an allergy attack, I tend to eat fewer processed foods since fillers and other additives might trigger an immune response even further,” says a nutritionist. “I just focus on eating whole foods, and if I do eat any packaged foods, they contain the shortest list of ingredients possible.” If you have long-term symptoms such as sneezing due to exposure to dust mites or mold, try increasing the amount of fatty fish you consume, such as salmon and tuna. These two are anti-inflammatory foods, which can help you feel better.
